Pattaya Girls
(paying bar girls in 2024)

A clear distinction between Pattaya girls and regular Thai girls needs to be made if you value your mental health, your finances, and your reputation. Fun times with sexy ladies are guaranteed in sin-city, but long-term romantic success is best sought elsewhere.

There are tens of thousands of Thai girls searching for romantic adventures with western men online. You can easily find good-looking girls for casual sex and fun times, or someone suitable for something more serious with:

What Pattaya girls do offer you is the opportunity to recapture the glory days of your misspent youth… and then some!

The city is a firm favourite of mine, and as long as Thailand is of interest to single men with sex on their minds, Pattaya will probably always be a fun place to be.

However, it might not last forever.

Every year new reports emerge of declining service standards from some ladies of the night, with ever decreasing numbers of available ladies working in the bars. Add to that the recent crackdowns by the authorities on some nightlife attractions and you have an uncertain future.

All is not yet lost though, and there's still lots of fun to be had.

The girls in Pattaya are the stuff of dreams if you just want a casual holiday romance, but they can be the stuff of nightmares if you allow yourself to get too emotionally involved, and don’t go thinking that it can’t happen to you, it is much easier than you think.

I am aware that there are some readers who will be a little concerned at the tone of my writing here so let me clarify my position. As regards the pay-for-pleasure industry, I neither promote it nor condemn it, but it does exist and I’m not going to ignore it.


In any case, there's no denying that the girls are the main attraction that draws men to this particular city in Thailand. Nowhere else in Thailand compares to the ladies here who will happily entertain you.

And the ladies are the reason for so many return visitors.


Yes, there are some decent beaches here and there, there is fantastic weather for most of the year, there is lots of tasty food and there are all manner of other attractions to keep you interested.

But it is the girls more than any other factor that really puts Pattaya on the map for a fun-packed adventure or two. By the way, click the link if you want to jump straight to the prices:

Sex with Pattaya girls

I’m going to be absolutely clear at this point, it is the girlfriend experience (GFE) that Pattaya girls are best known for.

It’s fairly self-explanatory but, just to be absolutely clear, the GFE refers to the type of sex services that working-girls provide here i.e. it’s just as it would be with a regular girlfriend… without the nagging!

You can get a GFE from working-girls the world over but the difference here is in terms of cost. In the west I’ve seen prices quoted in thousands of dollars for a single night’s entertainment.

In Thailand you can have unlimited sex with a very attractive lady for as little as 2,000 Thai Baht per day, and for that she’ll treat you like a superstar!

Most western men think of a liaison with a prostitute as being a very sordid, business-like engagement where you can touch this, but you can’t touch that, this is allowed, but this isn’t, and so on.

You can forget all that nonsense when you are in Pattaya.

I’m not saying that absolutely anything goes, but you can expect the same sort of intimacy that you would receive from a genuine girlfriend back home, and you’ll be treated with the utmost care and respect too.

Now, this can lead guys to make really poor choices regarding dating... Pattaya girls are not suitable for anything serious! Before you even think of anything serious, you need to fully acquaint yourself with Thai dating culture - so have a think about buying:

It’s no wonder that so many men have fallen into the honey-trap of long-distance relationships with these ladies, some of them really do take care of your every whim when you are with them.

But you need to keep it real…

The trick is to utterly refuse to allow your ego to convince you that you really are a younger, better looking version of George Clooney.

Never forget that you are in fantasy land when you visit this place, trouble is almost certainly in store for you if you allow your ego to get ahead of itself.

There are differences in the experiences that you’ll have with the working-girls depending on what type of bar you meet them in. The GFE is all but disappearing from the gogo-bars, but it is still common amongst the beer-bar waitresses.

Some (not all) Thai bar girls are so petite, sweet, and softly spoken that you’ll want to whisk them up, wrap them in cotton wool, and sing them to sleep with a lullaby... among other things that you’ll want to do with them!

Why bother with the bar girls and hardcore hookers when you can meet someone much better online? If you prefer a more slow paced and intimate way of meeting ladies for sex and romance, you might be interested in checking out:

As much as you might think that they share your attraction, some of the girls are not even heterosexual, and some have lesbian partners that work with them in the bars. Sometimes you’ll spot a girl go off to get the approval of her girlfriend before heading off for sex with a customer.

In other cases the girl may be heterosexual, but she is married and her husband is fully aware of how she earns her money!

If a girl is not married, she will still usually have a boyfriend hanging around somewhere in the background, no matter how much she denies it.

The fact is that she’s working when she’s with you, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have a good time together, it just means that you shouldn’t fall in love!

Characteristics of Girls in Pattaya

Pattaya is by far the largest and most popular destination for tourists seeking the pleasure of some female company, even Bangkok pales in comparison, so here are some details about what sets Pattaya girls apart:

  • In appearance, many Pattaya girls tend to be a little shorter, more petite, and darker-skinned than the girls in other areas. Many girls originate from the Isaan province of Thailand where the people have some ancestry originating in Laos.
  • In some parts of Thailand you might be looked down upon if it becomes known among regular Thais that you have used the services of a working-girl. In Pattaya nobody will care in the slightest, which makes for a nice, stress-free environment.
  • The GFE is still going strong in Pattaya, but in some areas it is gradually being replaced by the more business-like type of engagement that you find with working-girls in the west.

It's up to your own personal preference as to whether or not you like your women to have darker or fairer skin but, in any case, you needn’t be too concerned as there are still plenty of fair skinned girls to choose from.

You will certainly find someone who catches your eye and you will most probably feel like a kid in a candy shop with all the options open to you!

You will even be able to find some Russian girls in Pattaya... although I don’t personally recommend these ladies due to the very hefty prices that they charge, and the unfriendly attitudes that some display.

One thing that a lot of Pattaya girls have in common is a baby that's being taken care of by their parents in their hometowns. This is quite a common thing and is often the reason why they are working in the oldest of professions. Babies aren't cheap after all, and with an absent father and expensive bills to pay, the money has to come from somewhere.


If you are attracted by the idea of getting up close and personal with some Pattaya girls, my advice is to make hay whilst it lasts.

The naughty bar scene might not be here forever and I think that most guys would agree that the glory days of the late 90s and early 2000s are unlikely to return.


The Pattaya nightlife is still going strong, but it is not as bountiful as it once was...

Technology has played a big part in moving girls away from the bars; mobile phone cameras make many scared of being seen by someone back home, whilst online dating sites have created opportunities to find a western customer without the need to work in a bar at all.

These factors have led to declining numbers of girls in the bars, and ever rising prices asked by those who remain, although these prices are still way lower than comparable prices back home.

Hanging out with Pattaya Bar Girls

There’s a lesson to be learned from Gandalf the Grey (of ‘Lord of the Rings’ fame) and his statement to the effect that hobbits can completely surprise you even after knowing them and their ways for many, many years.

Pattaya SexPattaya sex services are still widely available.

Now, I don’t know if Gandalf ever made it over to Thailand for a steamy relationship or two with the ladies there, but he could just as easily have been talking about Pattaya bar girls as hobbits when making that statement.

When hanging out with bar girls and other working-girls, there are about a million different things that can happen to a man that will leave him scratching his head and wondering what the hell has just transpired. For a story of one totally confused expat, have a read of:

There are some size similarities with hobbits too; the number of cute little Thai girls you’ll find there is striking and I emphasize the phrase ‘little Thai girls’, they are usually tiny compared to the behemoths that pass for women in Farangland!

Some observations about Thai working girls

Freebies are not particularly uncommon in the Thai prostitution scene – if you receive one it does not mean that you have found the love of your life, it’s more likely that you have found someone who is playing the long game. Either that or you have found someone who is simply too ashamed to ask for payment.


You pay your dues whether asked to or not, otherwise you might end up with all sorts of trouble that you hadn’t anticipated, like:

  • Getting a reputation for non-payment (the other girls won’t touch you!)
  • Getting said prostitute’s Thai boyfriend angry (with a possible kicking)
  • Getting the girl thinking you are an item (meaning she will be a pain in the ass if you go off with another girl)

If you are dating an ex bar-girl and you get caught in the company of another girl, it is sensible to make sure that you have a reasonable excuse ready and waiting. It doesn’t need to be a watertight excuse just one that could feasibly be true. Small they may be, but Thai girls can cause quite a commotion when the situation calls for it!

The point of the excuse is not to pull the wool over the girl’s eyes, because she will not believe a word of it anyway, but you will still have done the right thing and provided a face-saving way out of any potential conflict.

This won’t work if you are dating a respectable Thai lady, she will simply end your relationship right there and then, but a bar-girl will most likely accept it. She’ll keep an extra eye on you from there on in though.

This lying game works both ways of course… if you catch your girl in an incriminating situation, you can be sure that she will try to lie her way out of it. It is then up to you to decide whether or not to end the relationship or accept the lie.

Remember that the purpose of the lie is to save-face, it is not to deceive… Pattaya girls are not going to believe your lies and you shouldn’t believe theirs!

If the girl you are entertaining is still currently working as a bar-girl; don’t even bother to make excuses! Keep yourself firmly in the ‘customer’ classification and don’t let her think that you are anything more than that.

Tell her straight out that you are a ‘butterfly’ and whilst she’s doing what she must, you’ll be doing what you lust! She won’t like it, but deal with it head on and tell her straight.

Jealousy and loyalty is an issue with Pattaya girls that will startle you into disbelief. They are of the opinion that they are allowed to have sexual relations with multiple men because it is their job; you on the other hand are expected to be 100% faithful! Knock this nonsense on the head immediately and tell her how things are really going to be.

If you split with a girl, or even if she splits with you, you need to be careful if you run into her again sometime later. Pattaya prostitutes are not known for their forgiving attitude and even if she doesn’t want you anymore, that doesn’t mean you are allowed to stop wanting her…

Where to find the girls

The nightlife in Pattaya is literally crawling with opportunities to meet girls, and you don’t need to limit yourself to any particular location because the whole city is one big hunting ground for horny guys!

With that said, most pleasure seekers like to do their hunting in the best nightspots for bars and clubs, so here are my top suggestions:

  • Walking Street – This is the largest of the many nightlife destinations and it is packed solid with all sorts of establishments. Some of the best gogo bars are here, but where this place excels is in discos/nightclubs.
  • Soi 6 – If you like to get some action during daylight hours then there is no better location to find it than soi 6. It specializes in brief encounters that traditionally happen on the premises…
  • Soi 7 – One of the best locations in the city in times past is Soi 7 (and Soi 8 right next door). These days it isn’t so busy but there are still some good looking bar girls here, most of whom would be happy to become your holiday girlfriend.
  • LK Metro – Once you’ve spent any time in Pattaya you’ll come to realise that the best value gogo bars are to be found here. This soi is less popular with Chinese tour groups and backpackers, while being a firm favourite of expats.
  • Soi Buakhao – The big growth area in Pattaya is around Soi Buakhao. Property nearer to the beach is expensive, and prices are higher, so many bars are moving inland. Soi Buakhao is good value and packed with variety.

There are a least half a dozen other worthy locations that I’ve not listed here, and if you want to see the full list then click here.

Pattaya girl prices & a quick roundup

Okay, no doubt you're wondering what the price of true love costs in Pattaya, so here's a rough guideline of bar girl prices and other types of hookers.

Thai girl prices
Thai girl prices

Note that these are 'short-time' prices; if you want a Pattaya girlfriend for a week, or just until the next morning, then that would be classed as a long-time service. For that you'd need to pay an extra 500 to 1,000 baht per day, additional to all the other daily costs like drinks and meals, for most girls:

Modern technology is having a big impact on the bars in Thailand... the best girls have always been reluctant to work in bars for fear of being seen by someone from their hometowns, but there are lots of girls online at:

Here are the key points to remember about Pattaya:

  • The Fun Factor - you'll have different experiences with the ladies that you'll meet here depending on their preferred method of extracting your cash from you! Beer bar girls provide the best service, gogo girls are the best looking.
  • The Risk Factor - I have found that Pattaya is a very safe place if you behave in a respectful manner. If you are an idiot or a loudmouth thug, I'd go elsewhere or you'll end up upsetting the wrong person at some point.
  • Expenses - the P4P scene comes at a much lower cost than in the west, and especially so if you intend to spend a few days with a lady. In Pattaya you'll find far more opportunities for this sort of thing than anywhere else in Thailand.
  • Emotions - whilst the threat of violence is minuscule for well-behaved guys, the threat of falling head over heels in love is very real. Don't think that it can't happen to you if you've never experienced the tender overtures of these sirens.
  • Comparisons - the sheer size of the Pattaya nightlife scene ensures that nowhere else in Thailand, or the world for that matter, has as many ladies that will be delighted to entertain you.

Paying bar girls, 'bar-fine' mechanics in Pattaya

You may have heard of the term ‘bar-fine’ before and wondered what it means - you'll soon find out if you ever visit sin city!

Basically paying bar girls for sex comes with an element that is paid directly to a bar as compensation for acquiring the services of one of the girls that work there. If you want to head off with the girl, the bar will need to be compensated for releasing their employee to you.

It has nothing to do with the payment that your chosen lady will want for her services, that is strictly between the two of you and nothing to do with the bar.


There are several scenarios whereby you may be asked to pay a bar-fine, but it is only a legitimate request if it applies to a girl who works in the bar.

The bar is after all paying her wages, and they aren't doing that so that she can head off with you, they want her working and pulling in customers.


So the bar-fine is a release fee... or is it?

Even if you meet another customer in a bar, there are some that will want to charge you if you decide to leave together. In that case it would be a fee for having provided a meeting place.

On one occasion I met a fellow Englishman in a bar and played a few games of pool with him. 20 minutes later the bar manager was asking if we would like to pay a bar-fine to leave together!

This nonsense is, of course, totally unenforceable and totally unreasonable.

Politely decline to pay if you want to take a companion out of a bar if she doesn't actually work there.

It does depend somewhat on the venue as to whether or not you'll be asked to pay in these circumstances - discos certainly won't charge you, and neither will the larger freelancer bars, but some of the smaller beer-bars might try a more opportunistic approach.

Types of Working-Girl & P4P in Pattaya

For specific information about the particular types of Pattaya girls that are available for P4P, have a read of my articles via the links below:

  • Freelancers - There's an important distinction between the different freelance girls in town, and that relates to where you meet them. On the whole the girls in the discos are trustworthy, those on the streets are less so. This article focuses on the more trustworthy types.
  • Beach Girls - The least trustworthy working girls in Pattaya are those freelancers who work on Beach Road. They do quote the lowest prices, but any cost-saving you make here is offset by the possibility of being drugged and/or robbed. Be vigilant if you insist on hooking up with these girls.
  • Russian Girls - Loved by some, not loved by others. These girls do offer an extra dimension if you insist on Caucasian ladies, but their prices are usually the highest of all. There are ways to keep costs to a minimum depending on where you meet them, so read up.

Naughty Massage in Pattaya

Another thing that springs to mind about the naughty scene in Pattaya is all the happy ending massage options.

Fear not, I've got this one covered too!

The king of all the happy ending massage options in Thailand is the soapy massage. I recommend that every guy who is going to partake in the P4P scene should make room for at least one of these.

Excuse the pun... they are mind-blowing:
